On ThurHtiay and Friday of last
week the Hiyn School held the preliminary
contests in declamation and
expression. The time of training was
unavoidably short thin year, but in
spite of this handicap, the contest ants
made a fine showing. The eight
boys and eleven girls who took part
in the contest gave evidence of ability
which would have been well worth
developing to g greater degree if time
had permitted. Following are the
names of those talking part;
The decision of the judges gave
iirst place to Harold McNinch for the
hoys and Margaret Goodale for the
girl#. Second honors went to Alvin
Creed and, Bolty Carrison. Since the
rules for the contest are the same an
for fool ball, Harold McNinch, owing
to his recent removal to our

Writer Describes
New High School
By 'Minn Ktftelle Gramling
At the present time when we are
making every ccPfort to analyse every
kbunce of cash output in this State of
ours, we naturally turn to a long list
of figures and oftentimes scratch our
heads bald and sometimes blank.. In
even such /drastic efforts, we find
utter loss of light and information.
Someone has said that "figures don't
lie; you can take figures and prove
anything." With the following data,
we are not attempting to prove anything
but submit it with the idea
of easting a ray of light on what
is bein?j*lone in our State along educational
lines.
Where 14 teachers were employed
last year for the instruction of 221
pupils, the new Baron DeKalb School
is employing ,10 teachers for the
teaching of 310 pupils. An analysis
I for the first six months of last year
and for five months of the current
year shows that there was for last
year an average mQpthly output for
'teachers' salaries of $1,700:42. During
that time the average attendance
per month was 2$1 pupils. This
caused an average monthly cost of
$7.08 for teaching each of the 221
children. The figures for this year
show that the avertige monthly out'put
for teachers' salaries is $1,007.77,
with an average attendance o<f 310
pupils per month. This gives a cost
of $3.25 per month for the teaching
of each child. Under the new system
there is an added cost for the
transportation of the children to the
school which figures to be $2.0-3 per
pupil per month. The monthly cost
for each pupil under the new system
for teaching and transportation is
$5.28. Last year the mere cost of
teaching each child aLone was $7.68,
leaving a saving of $2.40 per child
per month. If we take the attendance
of 310 pupils for the full nine
months we get a saving of $6,696.00
to the taxpayers of the county. This
does not take into consideration the
cost of the new building and equipment,
but at the rate above mentioned
all cost of construction will |
have been paid otff at the end of six
years.
It is entirely impossible to tabulate
the difference yn the efficiency of the
two systems. Under the old (plan
each teacher was responsible for from
four to eight grades, whereas the
new scheme gives one teacher one
grade or departmental work in several
grades as the case might be.
The Baron DeKalb offers a graded
grammar school with the addition of
a regular standardized four-year high
school.
The newly organized school serves
the same area as iwas previously
served as seven districts having nine
one and two-teacher schools. The
present school area is 138 square
miles.
The Baron DeKalb School is located
in a very sparsely settled section
of Kershaw County and is the
result of the efforts of the County
Board of Education, which saw the
need of a school of this type for the
section of the county. This gives the
~ \\ V- -1 J , . . r
V - wr-J w VClfr I/*
four-year high schools and graded
schools and puts every boy and girl
in reach of a standardized school.
The building is of brick-veneer construction
and is modern in every detail.
The modem conveniences include
electric lights, sanitary closets
for both boys and girls in each section,
sewerage, and a central heating
unit which affords steam heat the
building over. The school building is
made in the "U" shape, having the
grammar school in one section and the
high school in the other. The two
schools are connected by the spacious
auditorium which has a capacity of
500 persons. Each classroom meets
the standards as set by the State
School Building Inspector.
The courses in high school are of
the vocational type, including science,
vocational agriculture, domestic science
and the general high school academic
courses. An opportunity to
study music is offered to anyone in
the school. It is the aim of the
school authorities to ~ffer the pupils
those subjects which will bring about
a better all-round rural population.
Of ?.the 381 pupils enrolled in the
school, 360 are transported by the
contracted buses which serve th*
school area, making eight routes over
the 138 square miles. Each bus hauls
from 35 to 76 children at a load.
In the school are children who have
been out of school for three or four
years. In each grade there is a vast
variation of sizes and ages. Most
of this type of child are making good
and show more interest in their work.
Is the school serving the public or is
the school another one of those "high
fangled" ideas of some irres-ponsive I
prognostics tor* *
